Both powerplants will be on the full-sized Q7 SUV, the report said.
The SUV is likely to be the first of several hybrid models. Audi has not disclosed which other vehicles will get the parallel hybrid system, which can run on either a traditional gasoline engine or electric motor — or on both at the same time.
The report said that Audi has been working on a hybrid engine with Volkswagen and Porsche. However, Audi will be the first of the partners to launch a vehicle with the electric and gasoline engine. Porsche said a hybrid Cayenne SUV will be sold in the United States at the end of the decade.
